The long awaited AHL schedule was released today, and it’s more of the same for the Worcester Sharks as they will once again play a division heavy schedule as 40 of their 76 games will be played against their Atlantic Division rivals. With games split evenly home and away the WorSharks will face the Providence Bruins and Manchester Monarchs a dozen times each, and will see the St. John’s IceCaps and Portland Pirates eight times. The rest of Worcester’s schedule are the remaining Eastern Conference teams. The WorSharks will face the Springfield Falcons six times; the Albany Devils, Bridgeport Sound Tigers, Hartford Wolf Pack, Hershey Bears, Lehigh Valley Phantoms, and Norfolk Admirals four times each. The remaining Eastern Conference teams, the Binghamton Senators, Syracuse Crunch, and Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins will see the WorSharks twice.

Thirty-two of the 38 Worcester home games will be played on the weekends, with 20 of the 32 occurring on either Saturday or Sunday. The WorSharks also have a weekday home game during December school vacation week (Tuesday, December 30th). Worcester will host 12 Friday home games this season with a start time of 7:30pm. The Friday December 26th game has a special 5pm starting time. The season opener is October 11th in Binghamton, the home opener is Saturday, October 18th against the Providence Bruins.

As has become tradition, Sharkspage tries to predict the number of nights the WorSharks will spend in hotels. In past years we’ve been almost spot on, so if that trend continues and knowing that the team will take advantage of an extra travel day or two built into the schedule it looks like Worcester will be spending 22 nights on the road, with most of them taking place in Pennsylvania or St. John’s.
